ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 12/17/2005

Bowen took 11 shots?! WoW

 

I don't know if it's ture, but I don't like that, which means Tmac have to play evrey minute, otherwise our score is 0.without him.....

 

To be fair, Wilcox is a pretty talented guy. Given starter's minutes, he could be a competent center for a team like Minnesota or Seattle.

I'm of the opinion that Yao would be a much better rebounder (and scorer!) if he was refereed fairly. In today's game, he was shoved, grabbed and pulled down while going for boards, and the refs just swallowed their whistles.

 

Yes, the other players also contributed McGrady's 35% of the points. This is a team work, not 1 to 5 game. McGrady do played very well in the first half, but was terrible in the second half. This is why we got lost in the second half. We can excuse McGrady's terrible play for hurt, tire or something, why can't we excuse the other players such as Bowen's cold hand today. It is also unreasonable to bash our No. 2 and most stable player in this team like Yao every time when the team lost the game.

 

It's not just today's game, Yao was screwed by the refs every single game. There must be league wide thing against Yao to have different officials to let other guys beat up on Yao and when Yao fight back it's a offensive foul.

 

That's what worries me. We're still a losing, 1-man team against playoff-caliber clubs.

 

I love seeing all the haters come to the boards after a loss FOFF yall and go away. The Rox lost oh no we had won 6 of 7 and 5 straight we lost to a good team and it was close till the end Cassell hit a big three to match and Brand well its Christmas this whole year for him. 9-13 now we just need to start another win streak this is what we did last year just no consecutive loss crap.

 

To be fair, Yao's rebound ability is not excellent, but not a joke either. Being 7'6 doesn't automatically mean you can get 12 rebounds a game. Yao's rebounding was pretty good in the last two games, I think exhaustion factor MAY affect his rebounding a bit today.

If T-mac's bad shooting in the 2nd half may come from fatigue, so does yao's rebounding.

 

I would rather think rox is a two-man team.

 

This afternoons game once again proved we are in seriouse need of a genuine 3rd scorer. once tracy went cold, it went down the drain.

 

Barry is out and was a major playoff contributor last year. Alston and Anderson are out and we expect them to contribute. Moochie is showing miraculous improvement lately, so much so that I don't see anything that resembles his old dribbling game. Swift is doing all right and has plenty of room for improvement. Howard has plenty of room for improvement. We just played our 3rd game in 4 days and our 5th road game in a row.

Magette is out with an ankle sprain, and the Clippers were at home.

The way I see it, the Clippers didn't do a thing to stop us. We just beat ourselves tonight and we proved over the last 5 games we can do a lot better. We also have A LOT of room for improvement.

 

Bowen took 11 shots. That's why we lost this game.

 

Howard is far too inconsistent to be used as a starter. he has a good game once in a blue moon.

 

You cant argue with a YOF.

 

C'mon guys! We are 4-1 in the road trip and Moochie is really in the best shape of his career.

 

Most YOFs are also MOFs, but many MOFs are MOFs only and YOHs.

 

You're correct. Most YOFs have TERRIBLE grammar, poor english comprehension, and a one track mind (like Lenny from Of Mice and Men).

 

we are 4-1 on this road trip, i don't mind them loosin one as long as they whoop the lakers tomorrow we'll b fine...

 

For the record i dont blame yao for this afternoons loss. i blame howard and the other underachiving supporting crew that are support to pickup the slack when are two stars are tierd or whatever.

 

Puffs. Still having fun on that?

-- every game we win yeah it's because of TMac's greatness (the 35% and 65% theory by some genius who surely knows basketball is a TEAM sport).

-- every game we lost of course it's Yao's fault. Yeah he's soft, slow, no heart, etc etc.

-- yeah Rockets are a one-man team. Yao is a role player. Although he has to be blamed on every loss.

-- anyone defending Yao? Sure, throw a YOF label on him at the same time making some fun on his English. He's a Chinese anyway.


Watching this kind of crap happens over and over on this board, I'm really SICK of it. Do not blame on the team not having chemistry, they have much better chemistry than this board.
